Community Accesible Layout Rockbrook Elementary School, built in 1962, is planned for redesign within the upcoming decade. The primary concerns include minimal alternative activity space, and conflicting circulation. Seeking to reinforce its shortcomings, my approach was to keep the original structure, while allowing for natural expansiony goal was to avoid complete reinvention, instead seeking an organic evolution.

Located at a crossroads between a busy street and a large public park, we developed a restaurant-residence hybrid structure that provides a direct oasis from the harsh presence of heavy traffic. Our building protrudes towards the park, acting as both a refreshing break from the city, or a relaxing conclusion to the trails of the Antelope Valley Creek. Our goal was to add value to the site, while retaining the identity that already existed. This entailed finding a balance between the publicity of restaurant

This project is a collection of hand-modelled fragments of the Greene & Greeme Gamble House. In this exercise I utilized a wide variety of techniques including laser cutting of basswood and acryllic, as well as using a heated foam cutter, and several woodshop powertools (Bandsaw, disk sander, & compressed air brad nailer). I was able to use previous carpenty experience to properly achieve the correct construction of the two roof structures.

My first major studio project, was the design of a museum, in which, the changing definitions of volumetric spaces are the exhibits. In this case, there is a focus on providing a communication between multiple floors and separate spaces. This project introduced a few challenges, including the integration of effective spacial transitions, maintainence of geometric unity, and most importantly, a thorough consideration of user experience.
